CPAN reports Class::DBI::Loader up to date on older version

Hi, I'm trying to update Class::DBI::Loader using a current version of CPAN.pm [root@raybecfuse olaf]# cpan CPAN CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.58) CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.15) Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:50:25 GMT CPAN is up to date (1.9102). When I try to install Class::DBI::Loader, I'm told it is up to date (0.32), but this module is now at 0.34 I've also had this verified by someone else working on a completely unrelated machine. I eventually installed the newer Class::DBI::Loader by hand to get around this. [root@raybecfuse olaf]# cpan Class::DBI::Loader CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.58) CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.15) Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:50:25 GMT Class::DBI::Loader is up to date (0.32).

This is not a bug in the CPAN shell, but rather the CPAN module index appears to be out of date. If you look inside your/cpan/mirror/authors/02packages.details.tar.gz you'll find... Class::DBI::Loader 0.32 D/DM/DMAKI/Class-DBI-Loader-0.32.tar.gz Fortunately, Andres can poke the appropriate things to fix the index.

Now successfully reindexed. It seems that DMAKI was not owner at the time of the upload but now is and unfortunately nobody scheduled a reindex run. Thanks for the report! -- andreas
